Title XXXVI BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS
Chapter 608 LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANIES Entire Chapter
SECTION 4357
Perfection of rights; right to withdraw.
F.S. 608.4357
608.4357 Perfection of rights; right to withdraw.—
(1) A member who wishes to exercise appraisal rights must execute and return the form received pursuant to s. 608.4356(1) and, in the case of certificated membership interests and if the limited liability company so requires, deposit the member’s certificates in accordance with the terms of the notice by the date referred to in the notice pursuant to s. 608.4356(2)(b)2. Once a member deposits that member’s certificates or, in the case of uncertificated membership interests, returns the executed form described in s. 608.4356(2), the member loses all rights as a member, unless the member withdraws pursuant to subsection (3). Upon receiving a demand for payment from a member who holds an uncertificated membership interest, the limited liability company shall make an appropriate notation of the demand for payment in its records.
(2) The limited liability company may restrict the transfer of such membership interests from the date the member delivers the items required by subsection (1).
(3) A member who has complied with subsection (1) may nevertheless decline to exercise appraisal rights and withdraw from the appraisal process by so notifying the limited liability company in writing by the date set forth in the appraisal notice pursuant to s. 608.4356(2)(b)7. A member who fails to so withdraw from the appraisal process may not thereafter withdraw without the limited liability company’s written consent.
(4) A member who does not execute and return the form and, in the case of certificated membership interests, deposit that member’s certificates, if so required by the limited liability company, each by the date set forth in the notice described in subsection (2), shall not be entitled to payment under this chapter.
(5) If the member’s right to receive fair value is terminated other than by the purchase of the membership interest by the limited liability company, all rights of the member, with respect to such membership interest, shall be reinstated effective as of the date the member delivered the items required by subsection (1), including the right to receive any intervening payment or other distribution with respect to such membership interest, or, if any such rights have expired or any such distribution other than a cash payment has been completed, in lieu thereof at the election of the limited liability company, the fair value thereof in cash as determined by the limited liability company as of the time of such expiration or completion, but without prejudice otherwise to any action or proceeding of the limited liability company that may have been taken by the limited liability company on or after the date the member delivered the items required by subsection (1).
